Content
This theory module first repeats the basic skills (as taught at HAVO and VWO) of mathematics, adding (natural) logarithms and summations. Then differentiation, primitivity, integration and matrix arithmetic are discussed in detail and these methods are illustrated with practical examples. Calculating with second-degree equations and logarithms is applied to the subject Chemical Equilibria.
